I am terminally ill with probably a year or so left. I've been with my partner for 23 years, we have 2 great boys together and 7 other kids all great too. We plan to marry this October and this song will be played then. It is a great song and as I've been listening to Peter Gabriel virtually all my life that's a bonus. Take care all.
Not sure why I am sharing this; My girlfriend was in a car wreck in Oct '23. She lost her ability to speak and communicate clearly. She told me in broken sentences that if she did not get better she gave me permission to move on because she did not want to hold me back from living life. I told her she was stuck with me no matter what. Needless to say, it was a long few months but she got better. By the grace of God, she regained her ability to speak. She sang this softly to me after she could speak again. I cried like a child. We were married in June 2024 and we danced to this song. She sang it to me softly just like she did before. This song makes me cry every time.
Sharing. One of the biggest powers we humans have. Still we forget about it often. Songs like this one remind us. You sharing opens the way for stragers to see this just as the song does. That's beautiful. Thank you.
Its our Wedding Song. Ten days ago, I had a surgery and fell into a coma. My husband believed in me and was holding My Hand, while he played that Song for me in my room. Now I'm back, listen to this, crying, while he is at home and I'm still in Hospital, but awake. Thanks to Mr. Gabriel for the Song. And always remember: Love knows how to fight, how to win and how to reach the one in the darkness.
I'm terminally ill with Pulmonary Fibrosis, been fighting for 5 years. This song makes me cry not through sadness but with happiness for the 23 years the love of my life has been in my life, she is brilliant. Your remark made me cry for joy. I hope you are fine now.
You poor thing. I am so sad for you. Heartbreaking. I have a son. I can't imagine. Sending you a big hug. Listening to this song and reading your post has brought me to tears.
One of the truest statements I've read since this plague has started. It's important to remember this as it'll only become worse with each year as technology and social media grows. Thank God I've found the woman I'm want to spend the rest of my days with. I'll be asking her to marry me in the next few days. I only hope more people will put the phones down and don't forget to live!..
I lost the love of my life a year and a half ago. I held him telling him , he gave me 2 beautiful children adopted my son from a another man. 💙 My words to him was thanking him for giving me confidence, self esteem and telling me "I love you everyday ❤️ 😢
Gabriel's interpretation and arrangement is quite distinct from the original (but fantastic!). The Magnetic Fields version is a little more cynical - albeit with the slightly sweeter note that the chorus finds.
God damn, what a powerful song! I want to give a shout out to all the people who's souls have depth. This song brings me to my knees, because it speaks to me on so many levels. Shit, I don't even know where to begin. This song is dedicated to all the people from all walks of life. If you've been the victim of the most vile shit, this song is for you. If you've made it through this life unmolested, but still have heart and soul for those who's been through more, this song is for you. This song is for everyone, regardless of what you've been through. If your going through some shit, I recommend this song and R.E.M's "Everybody Hurts". Keep fighting the good fight! There is music out there that will save you, and it will help you. I know, because I've been there. If it wasn't for music, I would have killed myself back in 1993. I'm 38 now, and about to turn 39. If it wasn't for music I'd be dead at the age of 13! There is help, if you want it! Please ask for it! PEACE AND LOVE FOR ALL THOSE WHO STRUGGLE!
Thank you for sharing your post. I was thinking about what you might have been going through when you were 13. The adult in you wants to tell the child of the past that it'll be okay and you'll get through it, just stay strong.
This arrangement by Gabriel is magnificent. Merritt's lyrics are so evocative. The combination is just divine. When you listen to the original you realise what a genius Gabriel is, to create this masterpiece, from an indie pop song.
I met her and had her for 32 years. Then she was gone. It's been two years since I lost her and still weep every day. I go back to this song and it helps me.
Peter really makes this song his own, you can just hear the emotion, power, and that one of a kind voice of his bring this gem to life. He is one of those rare musical geniuses that produces unique songs, sounds, and albums that are all his own. Peter's choice of songs to cover are just as powerful as his own material. I can't help but be moved by this song. Talk about fighting back those crocodile tears, this song does it to me every time. :-)
Just a beautiful song by a beautiful artist! No need to read anymore or any less into it! A masterpiece that any and all should take time time to pause and reflect on... Should they choose to, life is certainly about our choices!
Le parole non si potranno compredere, per barriere linguistiche, ma la musica rompe ogni barriera e arriverà comunque alla sua destinazione, nel cuore. Bellissima canzone!

I don’t know why but this song makes me cry. Anyone else?
Chills me to the bone
Everyone else! Or at least, everyone with a heart .
Everyone.
Every time
Who wants to have Peter Gabriel sing a lullaby for your grandchild..
Probably the greatest love song ever written.
+BGBrygfjeld You right!!!
Yes.
Nope. The greatest love song ever written is "Somebody" by Depeche Mode. But this is damn good too.
Not "probably".
BGB one of the greatest...
Its our Wedding Song.

hope all is well now?
This is the first TH-cam comment that ever brought a tear to my eye. Hope you are well.
Things are getting better.
But it is really hard work.

You poor thing. I am so sad for you. Heartbreaking. I have a son. I can't imagine. Sending you a big hug. Listening to this song and reading your post has brought me to tears.
This song and the comments here have given me hope for the human condition in worrying times.
Peace and love everyone
I have Zero hope left! But this song is Beautiful! I love the Magnetic Fields and Peter Gabriel has done A great job covering this song.
In the days of social distancing, it's a nice reminder that we're social beings that need to be loved.
One of the truest statements I've read since this plague has started.

Thanks to Peter Gabriel for making this song his own.
The Magnetic Fields are underappreciated. May this draw more fans to them ❤
This is a masterpiece.
One of the most beautiful songs ever
He still has his fantastic voice. Thank god 😊
A beautiful song, I wish my wife and I could have listened to it together. She would have loved it xxx
This broke my heart..
I'm so sorry for your loss.
I'm sure that somehow she will listen with you, when you play it. Love does things like that.
same here. My wife (gone almost 34 years) loved Gabriel, found strength in "Don't Give Up"; she'd have loved this, too. :)
Heaven has Peter Gabriel's voice in it.
When it comes to songs about love, this one is the epitome. This song sounds exactly as true and everlasting love feels like. It´s perfect.

Yes, it does sound exactly as true and everlasting love feels like. Well said.
@@WibblyPigNZ I love Stephen’s other love songs so much, too
PETER is a GENIUS... SINCE Genesis AND alone. ONE OF THE greatest voices all time.
He did it best, but it is not by him
Nothing but beautiful….here in 2024😢❤❤
Canção linda.....amooo 2024❤❤❤❤
When I saw the last episode of scrubs ending with this song I was moved. Literally.
even to this day still makes me wana cry
Somebody came to you and literally moved you few inches away?
Heard this in "Shall We Dance".
What a voice! What a song!
@@kristian2827 😂 thats what they LITERALLY "said"

It's a wonderful song, it makes me cry but I love it ❤
Crying is a beautiful thing 😭😢
A true musical genius who has never compromised on finding perfection in everything he has done
I love coming back to this track in times of need - covid-19 stay home stay safe - and above keep on loving... x

If I ever find ( her) I imagine this song playing when we meet and at our wedding,.....a man can dream
She is out there and worth the wait...
She's probably next to you every day
This is my dream wedding song too... I imagine finding my perfect man to sing this to.
I met her and had her for 32 years. Then she was gone. It's been two years since I lost her and still weep every day. I go back to this song and it helps me.
Hopefully, that's how it'll happen for you, my friend.
Majestic. Mesmerizing. Magical.
This was my wedding song. Still crying while hearing it.
I was at a wedding the first time I heard this song....beautiful for a wedding.💕
Oh I love this song! The message in it is so powerful, thank you.

Still sounds like he did in 80's , fn awesome. Beautiful song
Immer wenn ich den Song höre, laufen meine Tränen und mir steckt ein Kloss im Hals. Aber trotzdem wundervoll!!

OMG
This man is an ABSOLUTE GENIUS
🙏💜🙏
💜🎵💜
Una de las mejores canciones que he escuchado en mi vida, posiblemente para mí la mejor
What a deeply moving song...
The chord progression change in the last chorus breaks my heart.
It's always that one tiny little harmonic twist in really great pop songs. Nothing fancy, just a precious little idea.
Such a beautiful song.... It makes me cry every time I listen to it...
This song, its sends me over the edge. Wonderful 😢
Brings tears to my eyes every time.
Tears, only tears from the first second to the last one
Played this at my wedding. Its 'our' song.
thank you for supporting my music,i am forever greatful
Holy shit this blew me away! The strings at the start lured me in, and it just kept getting better
String quartet just played this at my daughter's outdoor wedding during the unity lighting. So beautiful. Love this song so much.
This is such a beautiful song. I would love to dance to it at my wedding someday
Me encanta esta cancion!😍😍😍
Mein Herz und meine Seele fühlt die musik. Spread love. ♡
